How does the situation in Crimea illustrate the everyday ways that people construct the nation?

That is, how do people practice nationalism and make the nation real? Waht actions do they take in relation to their particular national identity? Be sure to talk about how each of the different groups mentioned in the articles, including the Ukranians, Crimean Tartars, and Russians continually reproduce their nation through their actions and words.
